Page 1     Four Leaf Clover Wire & Beads Bracelet Jewelry Making Project

This bracelet is a beginner to intermediate jewelry project that uses 18G gold filled 1/2 hard wire, 22G 1/2 hard gold filled wire, eight or nine 6mm beads, and a magnetic clasp to make a beaded chain bracelet. 

The emerald bracelet at right and below can either be considered a St. Patrick's Day bracelet if you have Irish sympathies, or if you are from the Lucky Country, you can consider that it is the green and gold that are Australia's national colors.
